We will initiate a new Turtle Route method come March 2007. Until then, the turtle has a full route.

There may be some restrictions. And we are sorry if this leaves some people in the cold. But we are aiming to get it to as many people as possible. And of course, Series family and Series originals will get priority. Consider it a risk factor assessment.

This may result in some people having to wait a while, but the benefit is it will see triple the amount of people compared to the current rough-cut spur of the moment methods.

The sole reason for this is to speed the process up and get more people to see it. It will also cut postage costs. Please bear with us on this.

Not doing this won't exclude you. But when we review how many members are from x location we may skip an area if there are 0 found in our search.

More details on all of this will become clear between now and March.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE MOST LIKELY WON'T ACCEPT NEW MEMBERS. THIS IS SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S TOO RISKY FOR NOW. STICK AROUND ON THE BOARD, POST, BECOME A PART OF THE FAMILY AND BY THE TIME YOU'RE UP YOU'LL PROBABLY BE A RESPECTED MEMBER.

I'd also like to strongly encourage you to mark yourself on the member map if you haven't done so already. That will make it easy for us to visually map out a route instead of having to search through the entire board. We'd suggest picking a landmark instead of your actual house for privacy reasons.

My name's been on the map for some time now. Will the turtle hit my town sometime soon? If so, I could probably meet one of our NY members at the mall near here and give them Myline, who could then give the turtle to someone else.

I'd like to be a part of this, but there's the whole security issue thing...I just thought of something. Depending on if/when I get Myline, there are places I could take it.Unfortunately, the map-thing doesn't seem to be working for me. If someone wants to do that for me, I was using Oberlin College as a reference, but if it needs to be less specific, I'm near Cleveland.

I finally remembered to look into this... and it's still working fine for me. If you still can't get it to work, please provide me with the exact steps you took and the numbers you tried to enter.[right][snapback]312905[/snapback][/right]

I've been planning to visit certain places near here, but I've been postponing it, thinking I could do it together with Myline. I hope he/she will come by some time soon-ish, 'cause if things stay like they are now, I don't think I'll be here for all that much longer (still a year or so though, I think)
